Weaving with Paper Plates

Term: 2 Year: 2017

Year 2 students from St Thomas’ Primary School, Sale explored weaving by creating a woven tree on a frame from a paper plate.

They explored the language of weaving: a frame, weft and warp. The paper plate was painted as a background that considered the Art Elements of colour, line, balance and composition to create a setting for their tree.

Wool was used to weave through the weft and warp to create a tree.
